Canadian Forces navy personnel tie off the massive bowline of the HMCS Toronto. One of seven Halifax-class frigates in the navy fleet, Toronto stretches 134-m (440-ft) long and 16-m (52-ft) wide. The ship carries a 17-m (55-ft) helicopter on its deck and houses up to 225 officers and crew members. Like its sailing predecessor, the modern naval frigate serves as an ocean escort. It ranges from 126 to 136 m (414 to 445 ft) in length and cruises at below 30 knots. Modern frigates require crews of between 200 and 300 sailors. Most are lighter armed than destroyers, although some frigates carry missiles, antisubmarine rockets, and helicopters, torpedoes, or other weapon systems (Frigates, Modern Ships Frigates, Carry Missiles, Antisubmarine Rockets, Torpedoes, Naval Ship Frigate Serves). |
